During tire evo lution of the 88th division, now in Prance, composed of 27,000 men, vast army of 105,000 was enrolled at Camp Dodge. From this number fre quent drafts were made and other can tonments were replenished as needed. The creation of the 19th army divis ion is now under way here. Two regi ments, th^t means 7,500 men, from the regular army have been sent here to form the nucleus of the new di vision. There are several thousand men here who arrived before tile 88th departed and who have had consider able training. Nearly all of the 7, 000 men from Missouri are still here and these partially trained men to gether with the regular army men are going through with intensive training in "order that the new re cruits'may see what real army ma neuvering means. Sqauds of new men may be seen scattered here and there over the big cantonment, taking train ing from a sergeant or a corporal and as soon as these squads get familiar with the rudimentary work they are placed in company units where many already trained men are located and thus the work of whipping the new men into real soldiers moves rapidly forward. Many of the officers have been on duty here ever since the camp wa£ established. Their Work has been with new men constantly and while 1 fi the work is inclined to grow monoton ous the new material constantly af forded keeps the officers nerved up for strenuous service. It is like a heatrlcal company appearing in the jame play at every stand but before a different audience each time. The big event the past week has been the taking of a picture from a ui'f formation of 35,000 men representing Liberty Enlightening the World, the model being taken from the Goddess of Llberty that surmounts th» -great statue in New York bay. It took a couple of hour* to get the men »r imaged in the proper position. An outline of the goddess was made upon the drill ground and then the men were grouped along the outlines that had been sketched. So dense was the placing of the man on a hot summed day that many were overcome and had to be taken to the hospital. The photograph was from a tower 75 feet high which gave the camera a chance to catch every outline of the great picture composed of living men. A moving .picture reproduction of the formation was also taken. Lieutenant Graham Goes to Meade Cantonment. iFirst Lieut. Augustus Graham, for merly assistant athletic director of the camp, has been ordered to Camp Meade, Maryland, for temporary duty of two weeks in assisting and observ ing the work of an experimental de velopment battalion at that place. Lieutenant Graham took with him data concerning the training system used in the development battalion at this camp, for comparison with that in vogue at Camp Meade. No Repetition of Epidemic Last ,Year. Soldiers at Camp Dodge need not fear an empyema epidemic this winter similar to the one that claimed dozens of lives last year. .Through co-operative work among specialists at all army cantonments and experts from the office of Surgeon General Gorgas, a means o£ defense against such epidemics has been de viseij and the causes of the maladj definitely ascertained. The cause given by General Gorgas for the virulence last year, is that many of the men from country dis tricts never had suffered from fnea sles. Cases of this disease occurred in the camps, and these quickly de veloped into pneumonia. Other fpwBJBRr* ^fg^v^wmf .Jtmwp»n tg: Wt^WWW^'J v/-*- iy "•. ,Jk One—Paget 1 to 8.

The increase of pus forc es the lungs into smaller and smaller space, as the fluid Alls the pleural cavity. The new treatment devised consists of removing the pus by aspiration at frequent intervals. The fluid is drawn off with a needle and suction appa ratus. A New Examining Board. A board has been appointed here to examine enlisted men recommended for commissions in the quartermaster corps, with a view to their admittance to a ^quartermaster training camp. This is in accordance with an order issued by the war department which provides this method of filling vacan cies in the commissioned personnel of the quartermaster corps, by training deserving enlisted men for these com missions. Indians Have Wrestling Match. "Some of the Indians from the Stand ing Rock agency at North Dakota, are real athletes. They give all kinds of stunts much to the delight of the pale faced spectators. Their war dances -SM require more skill than appears to a casual observer.

Owl Feathers got a half nelson on his man and attempted to turn him over. The steel plated heel of his opponent came in contact with Owl Feather's head, inflicting a scalp wound. He has returned to his company and Is practicing riding bronchos to take part in the "stampede" at the state fair. Two Medical Units for Replacement. Announcement was made Wednes day that two new medical replacement units will be organized here at once, each to be composed of fifty enlisted men from the base hospital detach ment, and 300 from the depot brigade. There will be five officers to each unit, none above the grade of captain. The units will receive special training in first aid and evacuation work and will be used to replace vacancies from casualties and other causes in regular medical organizations at the front. Must Not $oard Moving Trains. Stringent orders have been issued by Col. Newman, camp commander, against the practice of boarding trains to and from Camp Dodge while they are in motion. The interurban rail way superintendent states that all ac cidents which have occurred on the trains are due to this practice. Mili tary policy have been instructed to take any necessary steps to enforce the new order, which has been read to all men. Enlisted Men Study Bread Making. Enlisted men to the number of 121 from the depot brigade, 50 colored and 71 whites, have been attached to the school of bakers and cooks, for a course of instruction. Nearly every company of the depot brigade furnish ed from one to ten men for this course. More Negro Troops Thousands of negroes are at Camp Dodgd and others are coming. The last increment was composed of 1,200 husky fellows from Indianapolis. Among the men are representatives of every calling imaginable. While or dinary laborers constitute the, major ity it is not difficult to locate well educated men. Teachers, preachers, lawyers and the -like are here in force and some of the colored men are well to do. Two jiegro "pioneer" regiments, the 809th and the* 414th, are to be formed immediately. Colored men from Ok lahoma, Tennessee and a scattering few from other states will make up the personnel of the new regiments. .Wtth their three "pioneer" organizations in train ing, the 804th haying been launched several weeks ago. Maj. Adrian K. Polhemus has been assigned to the 809th and is in charge of organization work. Fifty-five of ficers (white) will be transferred from the depot brigade to officer the 809th. Officers' Training School Closes. The final week of the infantry offi cers' training school has been one of strenuous work for the 391 candidates who are to receive their commissions next Monday morning. Early this week the students wffre put in the trenches and for three days they did little but dig and study prob lems of trench warfare. The latter part of the week they have been de voting their time to paper work.

The photographic unit will be of service in getting pictures of military strategic points, and in making, observations with the aviation section of tiie signal corps. Pictures of the enemy lines taken from the vantage point of an aeroplane is part of the work of the photographic unit. Champion Caddock Leaves Camp Dodge. All chances *of a match between Earl Caddock, the world's heavyweight champion wrestler, and Joe Stecher, Nebraska heavyweight, and a strong contender for the Iowan's title, went glimmering when the local pride left Camp Dodge with the headquarters troop of the 88th division for an east ern port. He will soon sail for France where he will take part in the big bat tle across the pond. A big match for labor day between the pair of heavy weights had \been planned and had practically been arranged by the man agers of the two grapplers. Objectors Placed on Farms.

OF FEEDING BIG GUN8 TELLS Drivers of Ammunition Wagons Very Dangerous Work—GUns Must be Fed, However BY H. C. EVANS. AT THE FRONT WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, France, July 15. —I have just closed a five weeks' speaking trip among United States soldiers in rest camps. When the boys are at "the front" they are usual ly in three groups—the first in the front trench, the second group in the support or second trench and the third group in rest camps, which are just behind the second trench. These groups alternate'between po sitions every seven or eight days. Y. M. C. A. men are stationed at all rest camps, which are in fact the third trench, although this trench is not clearly defined. Here there are vari ous schemes of defenses, however, and as a rule this third position is shelled as much as the others. Communicating trenches connect the positions and through these the boys come and go when shifting places and through these the "Y" men and supply men pass back and forth serv ing the boys. "Miles behind the rest camps are the reserves, supplies, am bulance and supply trucks, artillery gunsl hospitals, etc. Through this kingdom of hell on earth, from front trench back to hospital, I have been passing during these weeks. One Quiet Sector. I have seen little of actual combat at the front trench, for they call this a "quiet" sector. But if this is quiet then have I misunderstood the meaning of the word. If to live constantly amidst the roar of cannon if to see men hunt1 other men with all the craftiness of a gunner stalking a deer if to see trees in the corners of woods liter ally torn up root and branch by great shells if to see buildings razed to the ground by bursting bombs if to see the fragments of men's bodies scattered to the winds if to see air planes fighting like demons in the air, and men plunge thousands of feet, to the ground if to pass among tens ot, thou4ands of armed men,- ambulan ces filled %th wounded, ammuntion wagons,., drawn by frantic, plunging horses—if these things contribute to making a place "quiet," what must be the conditions where the real battle rages? Of course the word "quiet" is used only in a comparative sense. All points on this thing called "the, front" are quiet where there is-not the daily impact of infantry against infantry in large numbers, resulting in many casualties Daring Airmen Visible. A common sight iS to see one or more enemy planes crawling high over camp and field, like an eagle with its wings taut in the pale blue of the sky, surrounded by the white puff of shrapnel from anti aircraft guns. One cannot withhold a secret feeling of admiration for the bravery of the airmen who dare the dangers of the heavens far beyond their own lines over a hostile territory. There may be seen our own planes coming out of the distant sky rushing on the trespassers. Or perhaps from some nearby spot you hear the b-r-r-r of a rising plane, making a deafening noise as it takes the air, resembling that of a startled pheasant. One seldom sees the finish of an air fight, for soon the machines *fere beyond your vision. Twiqe, however, IT saw a machine plunge to the ground, but so far away it was impossible to tell whether friend or foe. At night the villages and towns and camps lie liglitless beneath the cold, unfriendly moon. Over the roofs in the towns and cities may be seen the long beams of searchlights sweeping across the sky on slow and lingering search. The thud, thud of the barrage of anti aircraft guns i» heard in crashing chorus and the star strewn sky is illumined with bursting shells, and occasionally through all this noise is heard the distinct, thunder ing crash of bursting bombs, dropped from the raiding airplanes. Feeding the Big Guns. The particular job, and the only job, of the ammunition drivers is to get their loads of shells to the gun ners. No matter what the enemy is doing, whether he is shelling the* roads with shrapnel or gas shells or dropping bombs from airplanes, the ammunition must reach the guns. They just have to go right on through barrage and shell fire and hell fire, for fche guns must have their food— they cannot be starved. So on they go irrespective of obstacles, cursing and swearing, laying the lash to fright ened horses, giving little attention to the reign of pandemonium. Pushing through and around these heavy ammunition wagons are the ambulance motor trucks. The Claxon is not used to warn ammunition driv ers to the side of the road, for the road is theirs, all of it. Wounded men must wait while the cannon Is fed. So the trucks watch for their chance and slip by when opportunity affords. Signposts are everywhere. Every place is labeled and guards are posted to make sure travelers have a right on the roads and to regulate traffic. Everywhere you see men—marching soldiers wearing helmets, gas masks ready for use, armed for immediate action men with pick and shovel men bathing in the streams men playing ball raw moving batteries, •sr. irnriMimr miM THE PAPER YOU TAKE HOME DENISON, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 28, 1918. the great wheejs of the wagons rimmed with caterpillar tracks or derlies and messengers, on foot, horseback and motorcycles speeding on errands. Bordering the rbads are huts and barracks and tcntj, hidden in the woods when possible, camouflaged when in the open.. Here's a company at mess. Other men are lounging un der trees and behind embankments. Some of the villages are intact, others seriously damaged. A few miles be hind the immediate front, often with in the shelled area, peasants are har vesting their hay crop. Here chil dren play about the streets of the villages as if nothing unusual was liable to happen. I saw a dozen of them investigating a hole in the ground six feet deep made by a shell from a long distance gun. The shell had struck an hour before, Air Adventu*es •We were crawling along the edge of a wood In a Ford car when sud denly we heard the purr of an air plane directly overhead. It came flut tering over the tops of the trees like a wounded bird. The driver was making strenuous efforts to keep the nose of the machine in the air and to send it on and up. but finding this impossible he undertook to land in the field just beyond, where he half fell, the nose of hie machine striking inCo a soft bank, he propellor was demolished. When within a few feet of the ground the' driver jumped, struck the ground unharmed and scudded for the timber. We saw it was a French machine, driven by an American. We called to him In Eng lish. He turned and came back, his face radiant. "I thbught I was land ing across the German lines," he ex plained, "and didn't want to be cap tured." He was out of gasoline. He belonged to the sector north of us and had lost his way. Just after arriving at the rest camp that afternoon a squad of boys came in from the front trench, a thousand yards away, carrying a dead German pn a stretcher and bringing along an other one who had saved himself by throwing up his hands and crying "kamerad." The United States chap lain was sent for and the remains of the German, after attention by a couple of young doctors, was carried to the cemetery nearby. A group of our soldier boys stooid about while the chaplain read a passage from the scriptures and pronounced a simple burial service. Then turning $0 four old German men, as many women and a number of children who bad fol lowed from tjie village (we were on German soil) the clmplaln, speaking in German to)d them we had buried this man with th$ same ceremony we buried our o,wn«49$ta .that after death there was nonsuch ratings as a German, a Frenchman** or an Ameri can that we Would mark the grave and after the war was over and this dead man's folks came looking for the grave they should point it out and tell them we gave him a christian burial. There were tears in the old women's eyes as the chaplain fin ished. Then we raised a, cross made of white boards over the grave and Inscribed on it the wordsxfound on the German's identification tag. They were: Ki BAER Frankfort-on-the-Main Schwanheimer Street 54 19-7-1889. L. I. R„ 81 The figures showed the date of the man's birth—July 19, 1889. The cap ital letters indicated his command— Landwehr Infantry, Regiment 81. On German Territory. We were on German territory, a strip captured by the French in their onrush immediately war was declared. Later I talked with one of the old Ger mans who had stood at the grave. He was 70 years old—23 when the Ger mans took this land from France, and was then in the French army. He had lived in this village all his life. Up to the war of 1870 he and his relatives were citizens of France and had\spoken the French language. Now they speak the German language. He is a type of the thousands of Euro peans who are handed about from one sovereignty to another without their consent. I tried to determine whether he is pro-French or pro-Ger man, but failed, concluding that he was diplomat enough not to commit himself. tHe declared he was glad the Americans had come, "for," he said, "now our homes are safe!" What a tribute to our country! Three times during his life this man has lived under a different sover egnty—first French, then German and now France again. And evidently now he is so uncertain as to what the morrow will bring forth that he is afraid to prefer one over the other. Prefer the French. Other natives, however, are not so timid and unhesitatingly many of them express loyalty to France. They declare the French will treat them as equals, whereas the Germans drive them, police their villages and towns, appoint officers to tax and govern them, and give them no representa tion in the reiclistag. They say that France would permit them to gov ern themselves and permit them to participate in the government. Not every one, however, is pro French, as evidenced by a' nasty trick played on a company of our boys. Re turning from the trenches to their barracks one morning they found their building smeared with fresh cow dung. Their much needed rest time was transformed into wash day. They repaired to the brook with their blankets, where by word of mouth they consigned more Germans to the bottomless pit than they'll ever have opportunity to send there at the point of a bayonet.
